Oh no you DINNIT!

Oh HELL no, LJ (as part of their new abuse policy):

RPG-ers and writers of RPS, pay attention to the following: "Journals which exist as satire of, or to role-play as a public figure are considered allowable so long as the journal very clearly states that the journal author is not actually the person they are representing. This should be visible both in the journal’s profile and in the journal itself (either incorporated into the style or in a future dated entry). One such disclaimer, which users in this situation are welcome to use, is:

"In creating this journal, the author has assumed another person's identity for the sole purpose of entertainment, without intending to obtain a benefit or to of injuring or defrauding either the person whose identity the author has assumed, nor any reader of this content."

ichibansexy and sexygaju refuse to submit!!

Ara. So what does this mean for us who just write the fics, and don't do full role-plays? Do we need longer disclaimers?

"I, the writer of this fanfic, am not who I claim to be, nor will I ever attempt to be this person for any reason other than entertainment and possibly to drag this person all the way out of the closet, along with all of the boys hanging onto his ankles. Unfortunately for us, this is not reality, and unless it's a death fic, that's a bit of a let-down. But, to re-iterate: I am not a real person. ...Rather, I am not THIS real person."

Then again, what happens if it's from a third-person POV...?


Ah, LJ, making our vaguely more difficult every day. =_=

Well, since you're not RPing, you're not assuming the identity of someone who actually exists. It's just a fic. I don't think you have to worry about that.

Best disclaimer ever <333

I think I'll just go with the good ol' disclaimer of "LOLZ, RP AKOUNT, N00B." for mine. It's a disclaimer. I suppose. XD

Edit: My actual disclaimer - "RP journal. Not real. Obviously. Because if it were real, I'd be writing in Japanese. DURR."

It's disclaimering AND condescending! Just the way they should be.

Just copy and paste and do it. It's a disclaimer and makes sense and really shouldn't be a big deal.

Not like they're banning RPS like they did shota.

mini_miki and talesoftacchan refuse to submit either. Well. Tacchan usually submits to everything, but you get my drift. ;3

...... Okay, LJ. O____________o

... this gets harder and harder everyday. first it was the whole shota issue, now this. >___>

Oh, thanks for pointing this out. I should put this disclaimer in my lj for pnish Timebox since I am not Endou XD
